Hydration And Cleansing
"Dilution is the solution to pollution"
Hi all 👋🏾😁 Any avid water drinkers here? or "want to be an avid water drinker" here?
How much water are you drinking for today?
Or how much water would you like to drink today?

Hi there 👋🏼
I drink water… It’s pretty much my main beverage of choice. I workout a lot so am always drinking water..
I keep a Half-gallon canteen with me throughout the day that I try to finish and then fill it up again (totaling a Gallon).
Sometimes that doesn’t always happen, however I do try to at least make sure to get half my body weight in for the day if I can’t get in a full Gallon, since that’s supposed to be the standard for those who are healthy & not on any medical restrictions… since our bodies are primarily made up of water.
What about you? How much are you drinking in a day or today?
@PoliteOcean Hi :)
Awesome, oh wow that's great that it's your beverage of choice. Nice :) A gallon is hardcore & half our body weight in ounces is hardcore too.
For me it's the same - I was doing half my weight in ounces for a while, it was actually a struggle for me. Recently i started an herbal cleanse and it's recommended to drink 4-5 liters during the cleanse, that's where I am today and for the duration of my cleanse.n Just drank my 3rd liter for today.
Interestingly enough a gallon is actually easier than the half my weight in ounces, i'm guessing I really need it whereas half my weight in ounces may have not quite been enough to bring things into balance for me.
That's awesome you workout :D I've been sporadic and wanna shift gears to really being consistent. I always feel better when I exercise consistently :) Then my volatile schedule takes priority.
What kind of exercising and working out do you like to do?
@decisiveBranch2794
Hey there~ 😊
I agree, it can be a real struggle for some people to get in what we need as far as water... Some days are easier than others…
That’s awesome that you’ve started an herbal cleanse. I like to do cleanses too every now & then. And getting in that water is very important when we do those. (And congrats on getting in that 3rd Liter)!
I suppose that (as long as there are no medical issues or restrictions), that we should simply focus on the medical standard of at least 6-8cups of water throughout the day… and we will do good 👍🏼🙂… And of course more if we are working out or sweating alot!
I agree that I too feel better (and accomplished after a good workout). And You will get there! And yes it does take some consistency to keep it going & make it a habit. But just simply taking a nice walk while listening to music or a podcast is a great way to squeeze in exercise (depending on your personal goals).~ Even if you have to break up your walk or workout 10minutes at a time (to total 30 minutes a day). That might work better if you have a crazy work schedule.
As far as exercising & working out, I like to do things that I like & enjoy! That way it never seems like work. And I’m more likely to stick to it!… But my current schedule is:
Zumba 2x a week
Aqua Zumba 1x week
Aqua Aerobics 2x week
Aqua “Kickboxing” 1x Every other week
Strength & resistance Training 2x a week
…and then of course lots of walks with my Furbaby at least 5 mornings a week pending weather!
Other activities that I like & enjoy are Zumba toning, POUND Fitness, and I even have a Wii Fitness board and Just Dance Videos that I have enjoyed in the past. And of course good old YouTube has a huge & fun variety of things!
@politeocean hi 👋🏾 😊
Yes for sure and agree 100% that some days are easier than others
Ty yes it's working really well. Oh cool yes they recommend a deep cleanse annually and then maintenance quarterly. Oh good ess yes it is, makes all the difference. Thanks polite ocean :) 5 total for the day 🙌🏾😁
Yes that seems to be the advice.
Yes right? Always feel better after. Aww thanks :) step by step . I think I just need an accountability buddy or something. I have the time, just having a tough time locking in
Love that that's the way to go with exercise to do what you love :) oh wow that's great! Wow kudos to you :)
That's encouraging too. Sounds like you really enjoy it and you found your winning routine 🌹 Yeesss
Ok now I'm motivated to look closer and think about what I love to do... I actually like martial arts. Maybe there's a good online class or something. Thanks for that thought 🤔 If I find something good I will post it :)
Ok I hope you enjoyed an amazing day 🌹 sending well wishes for a great evening ✨ gn
@decisiveBranch2794
You mentioned “Martial arts”!
Thats alot of fun as well.. and I actually forgot to say that I do “Aqua Kickboxing”!
Soooo much fun kicking & punching & putting it all together in a combination.
You should perhaps definitely find something like that that’d you enjoy!
Best wishes & good luck!
@PoliteOcean hi
Yep i did mention martial arts. Actually you did say that you do aqua kickboxing once a week. Yes it's really good :) For sure & thank you. Nice chatting with you & sending well wishes for a great weekend + week ahead :)
